Day 189-198

Highlights:

Monday (2nd of April)

Navigation Bar that I have spent lots of time creating has been rejected mercilessly. Our website got to start from scratch. A whole revolution of standardization of our website. This is my first time in 3rd semester to went back home that late. Even later than my sister.

Tuesday (3rd of April)

Nightmare begins. Click and typing, changing and editing, making sure every single links runs fine. Not much time to finish the report and presentation slides. Skipped all 3 lessons today just to get the Web Page Design Assignment done ASAP. Highly urgent indeed. Surprisingly, Chin Chyuan offers his help even his is not my teammate, I am touched, it is not easy to get someone's help that easy, especially his. With everything finish in a hurry, I thought, Mr Chong, our tutor will be happily deducting our team's marks for late. In fact he did not. I was panic as I realized that the desktop in the lab could not able to detect the pen drive contains the presentation slides. In cold sweat, he come to the rescue. I thought he is going to lose his temper give us all zero. During presentation, one of my team mate have bad stomachache (due to over nervous). No choice to let him go, at least he done his part already. Amazingly, I managed to capture the audience's attention, despite how exhausted am I. Words flow out smoothly from my mouth without going through my brain. When all done, we request to pass up our delayed report the following day as we couldn't print them in colors. After the class, some of my classmates want to have a photo session. I joined them without second thought, then I regret, the photos taken of me is emotionless, empty and a huge panda eyes. OH NO!

Wednesday (4th of April)

I didn't really sleep last night just finish and beautify our report. I also realized that our host has mysteriously deleted our website. I suspected my account has been hacked in UTAR, as UTAR computers are exposed and insecure. No time to trace what happen, I created a new hosting account and upload everything there. I finished everything by 6am in the morning. I thought I could have an hour's sleep before I depart for my finance class, too late, my fatigue has switched off my body alarm clock. By the time I woke up, the clock shows 10 am. I quickly changed my clothes and called my dad to drop in UTAR. I was racing against time. I MUST pass up my report by 11am. I don't want to have my precious marks to be deducted. Fortunately, I managed to do everything as planned. Thanks God, really.

Thursday (5th of April)

Someday in March I have make this day as a hang out day with Jiann Yet, Wei Hun and Ben. We went to shopping malls and mamak stalls to kill time by yakking as well as foster our friendship, not to forget to release our stress. Wei Hun seems to reject everything uttered by Jiann Yet, and both of them love to argue. It is really fun to see them argue (I am evil) as both of them trying to 'poke' each other with words (unlike those losers who like to use f-language to express themselves). We went a mamak stall opposite the police station of SS2. I accidentally finished Ben's Nescafe, while he finished my Milo. The consequences, I stay awake all night without any sleep.

Friday (6th of April)

The day I have my finance replacement class and web page design test 2, with zero sleep from last night. Exhausted but have to deal with my test at least. Nothing much occur today beside the test.

Monday (9th of April)

At the end of the finance class, Mr Lim (not me, the lecturer obviously) wants to have a photo of our class as memorabilia (A side note: till now I haven't receive an email about our photos, weird, he must be have forgotten). Somehow, I don't want the semester to end that fast, but its happen, right now. Later, I went to Sushi King to have my free lunch (sponsored by John) with Chin Chyuan, Suh Lee, Roland, Edmond, Keng Yaw, Wei Wen, John and Elline (not sure how to spell her name, oh well). I have eaten 4 plates of raw salmon, single plate of smoked salmon and a plate of sliced chicken. The total is RM12 instead of RM24, 50% discount, not too bad. Later, I went to John's house to reformat his computer as his computer has infected with some unknown virus. After that, I went to RHB to update my bank book while John went to Public Bank to update his. Then, we walked to CIMB to update his second bank book, unfortunately the customer service people are fully occupied. Tired of waiting, we landed at MMORPG, he starts playing dota, while I search his motherboard's drivers. The download rate in that CyberCafe is super slow. Even my house 512kbps will beat it. After the whole searching and downloading, I realized that I kept all his motherboard drivers in his secondary harddisk as backup from the last reformat!! All my efforts in the CC are futile. *sighs* Nevertheless, I went home happily ever after (for that day only), but that's not the end of the story yet.

Tuesday (10th of April)

Boring day. The only interesting part is that Mr Chong (at the last week of the semester, yes finally) decided to fetch me home. I usually walked back from UTAR PD block which around the distance from Abdul Samad Secondary School. The more interesting part is he accidentally (purposely) stop his right beside the puddle of water, making me having difficulties to get out from his Kelisa without getting my foot stepping in the water. Anyway, I am thankful for him to fetch me back. At least, I don't need to walk. =P

Wednesday (11th of April)

After spending much time typing and producing the tutorial 7 answer, I finally printed it out and give it to Mun Hoe (I wonder I spelled his name correctly?) as a token of appreciation. I still can remember vividly he helped me to carry the heavy LCD Projector (I only carried once the lightest projector that UTAR has, around the size of my textbook, but much and much more lighter). Unlike SOMEONE no matter how polite I request, he gives me full of (dull) excuses. Oh well I don't want increase my bad karma by complaining about him, I can create a blog call "Its all your FAULT!" and list every nano details of his negative side, but I am a good person you see. Talking being a good person, being too good is not a good thing either. I am 'forced' to type out an (BM) essay regarding pros and cons about the abolishment of fast food advertisement by a 'friend'.

Thursday (12th of April)

Its Thursday again, I hoped my tutorial 7 answer do help Mun Hoe in someway, not sure I couldn't ask him anyway, since we separated by the class division. Have a super-rush powered by NL finance tutorial class is kind of torture for the last tutorial class. Every thing must be done in a hurry, even my mind is not ready on absorption of the finance stuff. I have my dinner with Jiann Yet, Roland, Song^2 and John. It is kind of weird. No, I can tell there is a silence between us. It is not like how we talk openly with Wei Hun and Ben. Very different, John and Song^2 obviously in their own world, Roland did ask a little about Jiann Yet. I feel bad about this, really bad, looks like I abandoned Jiann Yet with my selfish (in terms to fit the situation, they are not selfish actually) friends and thoughts. Luckily, it doesn't last long. Jiann Yet, as usual the happy-go-lucky type of person, obviously did not really mind about it. If this situation happens on my side, I rather eat somewhere else or rather to be alone. *sighs* Human do are cruel indirectly. After dinner, JY fetched me back to my house. He had a bath at my house while I busy reinstalling drivers and software after reformatting his computer. As everything settle, we went to 'Tomorrow' Coffee House to start our weekly yakking. At one point, we do agree (except for JY) that we someone is missing, that is Wei Hun who has went back to his relative house in Sungai Buloh I think.

Friday (13th of April)

I am having a sore throat today. Plus, I got to UTAR for the LAST class. Meet my 'lovely' TA14 classmates for the last time before the study leaves begins. Shook hand with Mun Hoe, I have instant flash back to the first time I met him, he is with the Jeff gang (hmm I wonder I recalled correctly or I got it mixed up? Oh well, not important! =P) The time I was in TA16. Nice memory. I remember Jeff and his gang. I was afraid of them as their gangster looks. However, they are very supportive of me. Something I would like to treasure. Not to forget Kevin, Kauserlya (opps I forgot to spell your name!), Adeline, CCR, Alvin, Kasturi, Joshin and people that I don't know their names but their faces, somehow is hard let it go.
